ISP™
Integral Somatic Psychology™ (ISP™), developed by Raja Selvam, PhD, is a holistic, body-centered approach that improves therapeutic outcomes by focusing on the embodiment of our human experience. It is a complementary modality that increases the effectiveness of any therapeutic method. ISP is designed to help you transform your emotional capacity so you can stay present and connected in your relationships.
Why Emotional Embodiment is Key to Health?
“Building of capacity to tolerate difficult emotional experiences, is one aspect of the work with emotions, and it is extremely important to psychological health” Stolorow, Brandchaft, and Atwood (1995).
No matter what the nature of an overwhelming experience or situation is, it becomes difficult because the emotional state is unbearable.
ISP is a comprehensive approach to embodiment based on Western, Jungian, and Eastern psychology. It helps you create a greater capacity to deal with emotional stressors that commonly sabotages different situations in your daily life.
How ISP Transforms Your Capacity for Feeling?
In an ISP session, we work directly with your inner felt experience in the body to regulate your nervous system. A key benefit is increasing your capacity to tolerate uncomfortable emotions that frequently arise in close relationships, such as:

Guilt, loneliness, and hopelessness
Anxiety, panic attacks, dissociation, and collapse.
In sessions you learn tools to process your emotions :

Feel the Emotion ,
